What's that flower you have on?
         Bb                             F
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
    Bb             Bb7
And did I hear you say
       Eb                  Bb
He was meeting you here today
   Bb                      F      Eb    Bb
To take you to his mansion in the sky

Verse 1:
      Bb
She's forty-one
        Ab                    Bb
And her daddy still calls her baby
Bb                  Ab                    Bb
All the folks round Brownsville say she's crazy
          Eb
Cause she walks downtown
         Cm       F      Bb
With her suitcase in her hand
Bb               Ab                  Bb
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man

Verse 2:
       Bb
In her younger days
     Ab               Bb
They called her Delta Dawn
Bb              Ab                 Bb
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
       Eb
Then a man of low degree
Cm    F      Bb
Stood by her side
Bb                Ab               Bb
Promised her he'd take her for his bride
